Kungfu Crew

2012-01-26T22:45:00.004+08:00

This post will just be for my dear EF Crew. We've come so far. And I'm glad I went through this journey with you guys.

There are no exact words to describe my experience with you guys. But right now what I feel, is this warmth in my heart. To have found a group of people in 2011 that I treasure, and love.

We didn't have much time to warm up to each other, but after this whole experience of being in crew. I really treasured my memories with you guys so much.

EF Camp was one big huge challenge for us, and I'm glad we overcame it.

This was a letter that I wrote to crew before EF camp. It was just 4-5 days before camp, but I wrote it because I couldn't get my mind off it while studying.

Dear Crew,

I'm actually supposed to be doing MAEC revision but the only thing in my head right now is EF camp. I am honestly so psyched for it, but yet I am so afraid of it. I'm afraid it won't be a success, I'm afraid we aren't prepared enough for any last min glitches. I'm afraid we'll be tired and demoralised by any screw ups. Before this week, the thought of EF camp made me really tired. It was like a huge project that never ended, when we thought we settled everything, more things kept coming up.

For a while, I was thinking I would be prepared and all for my food and shirts. But who knew, just 4 weeks before camp, I had to resource a new food supplier due to T&Cs.

It has really been a rollercoaster ride of emotions for everyone. My initial feeling for this camp was just something I hoped to get done and over with. I was so fed up with expectations, things to be done and what not. But right now, I want to make this camp a success. I don't want our efforts of proposals, meetings, trials, and energy to go to waste. And as draining (physically, mentally and emotionally) this whole process was. I will miss it so much. After camp ends, there will be no more loft stays, trips to super markets, singing songs, sleeping in the living room, carrying of logs, no more proposals, nothing. We started this camp the NIGHT we met as a crew. We stayed up till 4am, agreeing and disagreeing over our plots and nightwalks. But I will definitely miss all that. I hope this process changed you and made you discover more about yourself, the way it did for me.

After this, even when we go our own separate ways in Year 2. I hope we'll remember the effort, sacrifices and memories made for this camp. And we'll continue to support each other the same way we are gonna do so for this camp. Be it through our new activities and commitments. You guys will always be the best crew in my heart.

Just a little something to push you guys, as this will all be over in exactly a week. Let's not an entire term's worth of planning go to waste. We are the kungfu crew~ Let's own this.

18 and Legal

2012-01-22T00:07:00.003+08:00

My favorite strawberry girl at her very best

Returned from a nice sleepover with the girls, it was like our post-prom-hotel-room plan (but delayed a year later), and a celebration for the January girls :) We made a fool of ourselves, we talked, we had so much fun. It felt like a short holiday sleepover with them. And it ended my 18th birthday plans so well :) I love them, and I'm so glad to have them in my life. Will be posting more photos and perhaps a video later on. Till then, have a wonderful weekend~

Underneath Your Love

2012-01-17T00:28:00.003+08:00

I spent the day today going through all things weird. Was supposed to start doing stats and maec, but shit it. Only productive thing I did for school was printing out my lecture notes and tutorials. So here is a post to sum up on the useless yet interestingly weird things I did today.

I researched on lucid dreams, and how it worked. Inception felt so real for the moment when I was watching documentaries explaining it. Lucid dreams happen when you are being conscious in your dreams, and being able to control your dream. So you can fly in your dreams and warp your surroundings. Never had it before, because I always end up sleeping and not remembering my dreams. But how amazing would that be, to gain control of something that defies reality. But the down part is that sometimes these lucid dreams turn out to be terrible nightmares. And the last thing you would want to is to remember the nightmare.

I also watched videos of life in North Korea and how N.Koreans sneaked out of it. So thankful of being raised in Singapore and not there. It's so sad to see how bad the extent of the government's propaganda goes to, their poor standard of living, and them being brainwashed to think that the whole world is against them. It really is saddening. I hope one day they will be saved and cruelty will be put to an end.

Lastly, I finally managed to outsource a desired company for my internship.

I'm just waiting for Year 2 to start so I can defer out of the March internship. When I was asked to choose a department I would prefer to go to, I was just stunned. I've been giving a lot of thought to my future jobs. But when it struck me that I'm finally doing an internship, it means that I'm growing up. I'm turning 18. I'm going to eventually stop studying and start working. I'll no longer be young. I won't have the time to even enjoy myself. All that I'm in will eventually stop. There will be no more room for mistakes. There would be a whole world of expectations on your shoulders.

I would most likely be heading towards the HR/events/marketing comm sector. Not too business-y, but more social/media area of business. I hope things will be different when I finally turn 18, I get what people mean when they say that as you grow older, higher chances that you'll fall out of your walk with God. I want to include Him so much in my life, but I'm too caught up with my own problems and self-goals that I'm always forgetting my main aim in life.

So yeah, turning 18 sounds like a huge challenge to me. Because I want to grow up fast in a way that I can accomplish as many things as possible, but at the same time, I want to stay young and free, and stay close to God.

Wordy post that I have here. So in summary, I wasted my day today.

When I have so many things on my mind right now. Untouched revision, incomplete projects, group 3 prep, and I'm already worried for my activities during march/apr break when it hasn't even started at all.

Oh well, I sort of can't wait for all these to be over. Have a great chinese new year :)

18th

2012-01-15T16:31:00.005+08:00

(photos taken from erina's and jasmine's instagrams heheh)

So yesterday, was a lovely day. Thank you to all those who came down to surprise me, the girls, the fatass clique, and my poly friends. I love you all! And to my dear bestfriend, thank you so much for planning this from the start, and to abz who helped out in the planning and organising the poly friends too. I am so grateful for having you guys in my life, and I love ya'll so much :)

Started out the day with wenhui, who tried really hard to hide the surprise. She made me stay at haji lane for such a long time, stalling time. And at the same time tried to hide the SMSes/calls from me. Going on about how the whole surprise would be at a very nice dinner place that I would love, and it was at a place that feels like "wild honey". AH YEAH AND WHO KNEW THAT "WILD HONEY" WAS ANYTHING SIMILAR TO MY HOUSE.

Anyway, I was really touched to see all the people who came. Friends that I knew back when I was sec1 till year 1 :') And also I was so touched by effort they put into this whole surprise. They were so cute in the prep, buying cupcakes, the balloons, decors, and all.

Thanks for coming, cos I know many of you guys have exams + other plans, so yes I'm REALLLY grateful that all of you guys came down :)

Karma right back at me. She blindfolded me like how I did for her surprise.

CUPCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKES!

Seth being seth HAHAHAHAHHA

My 2 favourite SCOs in the world ^^ TEAM BAOOO

Heehhehe my favourite girl in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD.

Thank you guys for everythinnnn~
:)

So yeaaaaaaaa, I'm turning 18 soon, a few days away from being legaaaal. And I have no idea how I am supposed to be feeling.

Phuket 2011

2012-01-02T23:41:00.002+08:00

So here are the pictures from Phuket!

Phuket was probably the only relaxing vacation I had after such a long time. Most of my holidays always involved shopping and travelling around. But Phuket was just all about soaking up the sun and enjoying the weather. Loved my stay there :)

We had to take a boat to the island cos the resort was on a private island. And I honestly didn't expect such a fast speed boat. When I got on the boat, I really felt like I was in some James Bond movie going to a private island to meet some like mega boss. Hahaha but yeah, when I entered island. I was literally like blown off my mind. The water was so SO CLEAR. I COULD LITERALLY SEE THE FREAKING FISHES IN THE WATER!
And the weather was so clear and beautiful at the same time.
Sighhh~~ And each villa had a pool too. So double sighh~~ Good accommodation + good food + good beaches + good weather. What more? They had snorkling/diving/spa/cooking classes etc. I wanted to stay there forever ._.

So yeah, we went snorkling almost everyday because the fishes were everywhereee. And they weren't afraid of humans either. So they always swam around us. Drove the ATV (auto terrain vehicle) too. Because the resort didn't cover the entire island, besides the resort, there were like dirt roads and stuff. So we drove the ATVs there. It was so cool cos we had to drive it up the dirt hills and all. AHHHHHHHHH, like a mini 4-wheel-drive, just that i'm driving it and it's less fast.

Went there with my family and my church friend's family, so yeap! It really enjoyed myself, and at the end of the post is a video of my trip. Hhehehe love editing videos with my new cam ^^

This is the ATV hehe

This was at the OTHER end of the island. We drove the ATVs to visit this area. The sand was more coarse, with the tree figs and all. Cos the waves and wind at this side of the island was much stronger. While the other end where the beach was had gentler waves cos it was at the bay. GEOGRAPHY STUDENT WOOHOO.

And according to my dear bestfriend, my video is very boring.
SO YES SORRY IF YOU GET BORED.
Just to give you a heads up, I didn't talk at all. I usually feel pretty awkward talking to the camera, and I don't exactly like hearing my voice. So yes, I edited out my voice the entire time hahah. Just enjoy the music and the scenery ya.

It's the Greatest Time of Year

2011-12-25T14:16:00.003+08:00

GREETINGSSSS~

Hope you guys are had an awesome Christmas! Be it in or out of Singapore :)

2011 is finally coming to an end. And this post is going to sound more like a thanksgiving post and it's going to get really wordy. So yes bear with it. I have a lot of things to be thankful for this year. I went to Phuket a few days back, which was good. Cos I was away from all the noise and bustle from school activities. Also, I listed out things that I was so thankful for that happened this year. I also listed out the people I'm so happy I met this year, but that's a little bit more personal.

So yes, here goes, the list of what I am so grateful for that happened.

Posting to Ngee Ann's BS
I honestly had NO plans for BS at all. It was either IBZ or JC route. But yea, guess after talking to people and knowing more about BS, that I really knew where I was heading for. And it was just this one posting, that opened a whole new route of open doors.

Cookyn Inc/Cookyn w Mervyn
I worked at this place during the long break before school started, and during the sem break. I learnt a lot from my workplace, and I am so thankful for Mervyn who gave me the chance to work there. The team has always been friendly, and because of them, my first working experience was so enjoyable :)

28th Coy
I haven't been going back to the 28th during the 2nd half of the year because of all my school commitments. But before that, from Jan-June, I was involved back in 28th. Helping out in drill comp, enrolment, ATC camp. I really miss the GB girls, the officers and Ms Foo. And I hope next year when everything changes, I'll finally be free to go back and help out again. Cos it was GB that made such a significant change in my KCP life :)
Went to Ms Foo's place for a christmas lunch today, and yes, I really do miss 28th a lot.

NPSU FOC
My very first camp, even before I started my journey in NP. I met amazing GLs and the awesome luxuria. I can still say that no school camp I've attended can ever beat the bond I had with luxuria. Though now we're all on our own separate ways, I am still so glad that I met them. Because of them, I entered to NP knowing people. And they were my very first group of friends in NP. FOC really inspired me to find a place in NP. To meet new people and to find a meaning in my journey of 3 years.

BA Society
I have to say, through Society, I met so many of my close and good friends. And it's not just the SCOs that I'm talking about. But my SCs too. If not for BA Society and Group 3, I wouldn't have met my SCs who are such a loving bunch of awesome friends. I honestly CAN'T WAIT for BAOW to start, because of all the plans that are installed for Group 3 BAO :)

I'm really prepared for BAOW. Because I have Seth and Jacq, and my entire group of awesome SCs to work with. And I know this journey will be more than just prep for BAOW, but a journey to form a family :)

BA Envoys/ EF Crew
I think the main thing I am so grateful for in Envoys, is EF Crew. EF Camp just ended a few days ago, and the entire process of EF Camp was one shitload of a tiring marathon. We started planning the camp the NIGHT we met as a crew. But the process allowed us to create so many memories. We sang songs, we did push ups, we had our 2 camp trials, we had our trips to BTP/KAP for grocery shopping, we did proposals, we edited and edited and edited and finalised it a million times, we went on for 2 days straight with less than 2 hours of sleep. We are the kungfu crew and I love you guys. I won't exchange this experience and the memories for anything. You guys taught me many things in so many different ways, and I learnt a lot about myself when I work with you guys. Honestly, you are the perfect crew to work with, and are nothing short of awesome :) This journey passed too fast, in a snap, an entire sem was over and so was EF Camp. I will never forget crew, you guys are the best :)

iDARE
iDARE was probably the only adventure camp that I attended besides stupid kota tinggi in sec3 where we only trekked the mountain. But everything in iDARE was really memorable, from the activities, to the people, to the performances, everythinggg. I got to know more people and for those that I already knew, I got to know them much better. It was just different from the usual school camps, the people, the activities and even the iDARE spirit.

RED Camp/ Ninjas
YESSS I shall talk about my RC8 experience here. I haven't been going for ninja outings at all because it always clashes with my other commitments. But I have to say, being in ninjas was a really good experience for me. Working together with people that I don't even have time to warm up to, but yet being able to have things done so smoothly. I really respect those Ninjas SLs who stuck by ninjas for the past few years, because RC isn't the most easiest thing. Having to really take out time and energy, and to even take care of us the new SLs, was probably quite a challenge. But I liked ninjas a lot, because we didn't have conflicts, and everybody was so warm and welcoming. In other words, Ninjas was just so damn genuine ^^
Also, through ninjas I made new friends and got closer to some. And also not only in ninjas, but also even the SLs in the other tribes. It was really nice to see familiar faces even outside ninjas.

Best part, was having campers. I haven't gotten the time to meet any of the subtribe 8 campers, but I felt so happy when they told me they enjoyed RC8. It was just heartwarming to see them being appreciative of your efforts and seeing how this camp changed them. It was really touching to see the campers enjoy themselves so much :')

I wouldn't say 2011 was life changing.
But I would say that out of my entire life of existence, 2011 has to be the year that I was so blessed with opportunities. The opportunity to be in so many things, to meet so many amazing people, to create such unforgettable memories.
But 2011 has also been the most challenging and tiring year. I've had my own times when I felt like just giving up and throwing away everything on my shoulders, but no, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And I guess that's what pushed me so far. I learnt a lot about myself in 2011 and 2011 has really made a me physically, mentally and emotionally stronger.

I know 2012 won't be the same anymore.
But I would like to thank God for all the opportunities given to me this year, and the people He has blessed me with :)

Mhh that's all I have to say for now, so I'll end the post off with a video from christmas eve, where I spent it with the girls. My next post will be about my Phuket trip, and here is just one photo to show you how beautiful it was. Just so you know, this photo is entirely raw and not edited AT ALL.

Till then, hope your 2011 has been as great as mine :)

Am supposed to be studying now. But to keep this place alive, I shall share a few of my favourite tumblr reblogs :)

Pumped Up Kicks

2011-11-26T21:08:00.003+08:00

Alright so as promised, here are the few updates that happened over the month!

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION WITH THE GIRLS

It started off with high tea and quality time with my bestfriend. To celebrate her belated birthday cos I had chicken pox during her actual birthday.

And she kept taking photos of herself, there were much more than just the few below. So, here it is...

MEET

MY

BEST

FRIEND

Hehe okay I blindfolded her at that last photo because I was supposed to bring her to the birthday venue. But wenhui found out that we were surprising her cos we accidentally ran into the other girls at Awfully Chocolate..... But heck I still blindfolded her anyway.

It was a really good dinner and a great celebration with the girls. I love them, and I am so happy I had them in KCP ^^

So that was all for the birthday celebration with the girls!

SURPRISE VISIT :')
And yes, how could I forget it. Oli, Justin L, Chris and Jacq came to surprise me when I had chicken pox. They even brought get well soon cards. I WAS SO TOUCHED OK! :')
The get well soon cards were all written in notes and inserted in heartshaped origami, with a string attaching all the hearts together. It was so sweet and heart warming reading all the get well soon cards/notes. :')

RED CAMP 8, NINJAS

I can't express how much I miss red camp right now. I miss the ninjas so much, even though it was just a short 3 days of Red Camp. I am so glad that I came to know more SLs in ninjas, and even the campers! It really touches and warms me when campers tell you that they enjoyed themselves at RC. Having them crying after RC ended, receiving smses or fb msgs to thank you. It's like I found myself little juniors in NP already.

As for the SLs, it was so wonderful working with them. I was really sad when I saw them crying. Knowing that every journey comes to an end. And also knowing that I won't get to see the Year 3s next year at RC. It really saddens me. Because I honestly felt that the Year 3s were the ones that made such a significant difference in ninjas, if not for them, ninjas wouldn't be what it was. They were the backbones of ninjas, and always taking care of us, supporting and encouraging us. Without them, I will really feel so lost.

But because of them, I am really encouraged to continue the ninja legacy and stick with ninjas till the end. I won't give up on ninjas till I graduate, and I really love every single ninja out there.

Red camp 8 was mindblowin' awesome. I will be back again for RC9. And I hope ninjas will bring the awesome to a whole new level.

I'll post photos of RC Ninjas soon. Beacuse if I post all the photos now, I think the next time I update this blog will be months later. Need some reason to come back to update this blog, cos I'm getting quite lazy heheheheheee.

Stay Gold

2011-11-17T01:26:00.003+08:00

I'm so sorry for the lack of updates. Ever since I returned to school, everyday has been so packed.

I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO UPDATE OVER HERE, but there's no time now. I have to finish my MAEC and BMGT tutorials today and it's already 1.27am, OH GOODNESS.

I will just give a short update of my life.

1) I missed 2 weeks of school because I had chicken pox (oh damn you chickens)

2) The 2 weeks of no school was really boring because I couldn't even leave the house

3) I survived on porridge and soup for an entire week

4) My lovely chubchub Jacq, Oli, Justin L and Chris came to surprise me on the 2nd week of my chicken pox :') (I WAS SO TOUCHED)

5) I got lots of 'get well soon' cards, letters and notes from my friends in school (STILL SO TOUCHED)

6) After I recovered, brought wenhui out for high tea on her belated bday celebration (because this bestfriend had chicken pox on her birthday)

7) Had a surprise birthday celebration with the girls for the Oct Babies (Esther and Wenhui) on the same day that I brought wenhui out. (But stupid wenhui had to spoil it)

8) Met the fatass kids recently for movie and nomz, it was good to catch up with them ^^

10) RED CAMP 8 is in 5 days time!! NINJAS POWER POWER~

Having so many things from this friday till the next friday.

EF Camp trials, Parents Seminar and RED Camp.

I'll update this blog again with more pictures on what happened during the past few weeks ^^

Into Space

2011-11-01T16:16:00.003+08:00

My mind is in a whirl. There are so many things I would want to do right now. There are so much that I feel like I'm missing out. Singapore sucks, it's so small. Enjoying nothing in this place. There's nothing to explore here. Why is it that a backyard doesn't lead to a forest. Why why why why whyyyy.

I want to see the clouds not from below, but from above.

I want to ride a white pony in clear waters.

I want to breathe in cool autumn air.

I want to see the northern lights.

I want to get on a plane and get away from everything.

Everything is starting to overwhelm me all over again. It's already November and only the beginning of my second semester. I already see this entire mountainload of things to complete. What if this never stops. The same old cycle of weariness never ends. Always feeling like I'm going no where with all that's happening. I just wish I could drop all these expectations of people. Always the same old cycle of having to live up to expectations, getting disappointed with people who never stick to their words. It gets tiring.

I miss being in kuo chuan all of a sudden. I enjoyed every single thing I was doing there.

My friends, my studies, my CCA. I miss doing geog, was always fascinated by how things were formed. The beauty of the coasts. I miss history, I miss discovering how cruel history was yet how beautiful it is. I miss humanities, I miss humanities so so so much.

I miss my bestfriend so much, I miss my girls so much, I miss the fatass kids so much, I miss GB so much, I miss 4truth. I miss being sec4. I miss being clueless and having no direction for my future.

My mum just came in to tell me. My distant cousin, who is the same age as me, at 17. Has written her own book, and is now travelling the world to promote it. Oh goodness. She's going to new york uni next year. She's based in beijing so yeah I don't see her often.

But still, ha. Already feeling like a under-achieved failure in life.

Glad You Came

2011-10-16T13:19:00.005+08:00

I AM BACK.

From a marathon of 4 camps in 2 weeks. It was tiring and I am currently having a really bad voice. It's probably going to take a few weeks for it to recover. But I'm thankful I didn't fall sick throughout all these camps. At one point, I was quite disgusted of having to pack my bag all over again. Having the feel that the camps are never ending. Not being able to sleep on my bed, not able to eat home-cooked food. But I enjoyed everything I went for, though tiring, I have no regrets.

So the first camp was, IDARE!!!!

A lot of people told me about iDARE and how good it was. And yes, iDARE was really fun. So was dear tigger. Everything in iDARE was so, different. It wasn't the usual kind of camp. Loved it and enjoyed myself so much. The cheers, the activities, performance night, indoor campfire and all. We did so many things, paintball, 4 wheel drive, white water rafting, flying fox and more. IT WAS AMAZINGGGG.

My most favourite activity probably has to be 4 wheel drive. I lost my voice during this activity cos I kept screaming and cheering. Travelling up the mountain on a mad bumpy ride. Having to duck the branches which seem like they're flying at your face. Enjoying the scenery, and at the same time holding tight before you fly out of the jeep. Loved the 4 wheel drive to no end. And the people in the jeep were all crazy epic. We had all these weird never seen before things flying in our faces, be it insects and white gooey liquid. Oh it was so epic.

Really loved tigger, was so impressed by the performance part. Our skit turned out to be around 20mins long HAHAHHA. But yeap, I will miss tigger so much. All the cheers and fun we had together, am so proud of tigger ^^

So here are some photos from facebook.

PAINTBALL~ You can see me being the swag one kneeling on the floor HAHAH. Paintball was damn fun too btw. EVERYTHING IN iDARE WAS FUN, GOSH.

Just before we went on 4wheel drive. We wore life jackets cos we were stopping at the waterfall. And also the life jackets acted as cushions cos our bodies would keep hitting the metal bars during the bumpy ride.

At the waterfall~ THANK GOD FOR NO LEECHES YAY YAY YAY YAY

Tigger during performance night, our identities were so cute. We even had a tail hehe.

With abz and popcornz

With EF crew, WE LOOK SO COLOURFUL HERE HAHAHA

Reached SG at night, and headed for EF trials the next day.

So the 2nd camp was EF crew trials. The wet games were fun, really excited for ef camp. Though I know it's gonna be a crazy camp, but YEAH CREW WE CAN DO IT!! I can't say too much because everything is confidential for ef camp hahaha. ALL BA ENOVYS PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT EF CAMP 3 ALRIGHT ^^

3rd camp was BAMP trials. Was starting to feel the drain during this part, because it was directly after EF crew trials. During then, a lot of people were falling sick. Especially those who went for iDARE. Was so afraid I would fall sick too cos I was feeling a little faint and feverish. But it was fine after a lot of sleep when I came back home. God was reallly giving me all the energy I needed during that time.

Last camp was SL prep camp. AND I GOT TO MEET MY MIGHTY MIGHTY NINJAS~ I can't wait for red camp to start, we'll show our ninja spirit. I love the ninjas, everything's so organised in ninjas, the committees and all. Love the people in ninjas too. They're so caring and loving, and funny too. Gnna blow the roof off with ninjas this red camp.

Hope the campers would look forward to red camp, because I really can't wait for red camp to start ^^

Yeap, so this is just a post on my 4 camps that I've been to. I'm glad to be at home, FINALLY.

And another thing, BASociety's going to have a run called FUND MY LIFE Run, FMLRun. It's a charity run for BA students, and we're going to have our booths at the underpass on 19th-21st. So do come and support for a good cause!

School starts tomorrow. Gonna kick some GPA ass with my awesome groupmates ^^ Hope the holidays were great for you guys, I enjoyed my holidays a lot even though it kept me really busy.

Am ready for school, SEM 2 BRING IT ONZZ.

In Time

2011-10-02T00:50:00.006+08:00

Am supposed to be packing for iDARE. But instead of doing that, I'm just crossing off what I THINK I have, and just putting stars on things I need to get. So used to the routine of packing bags that I sense no urgency haha.

Anyway, my days have been really long. Going for meetings or dinners after work every night. Mainly cos I won't be free on a single day for the next 2 weeks.

Today marked the last day of work. I learnt a lot of things from the office, and as much as half the time I'm taking leave for camps/ leaving early for meetings. I'm grateful that the team takes care of me ^^ Went for EF meeting after work. I am quite excited for the whole ef camp, though it's gonna be a huge challenge. But I really like working with the crew, and I can't wait for our EFs ^^ Went for the SL outing after that, and I reached there really late. I still got to catch up with few other friends and got to know more people. I can't wait for Red Camp to start, I'm ready for a whole new experience. Been too involved in BA that I was never opened to Ambass/NP-wide events. Met Joyce after the outing for dinner, and caught up a lot. Has been a really long day, but I spent it well ^^

The next 2 weeks is gonna be a crazy marathon of 4 camps. Record breaking number of camps in the shortest period.

3rd-7th Oct- iDARE
8th-10th- Camp trials (EF)
10th-11th- Camp trials (BAS)
13th-15th- SL prep camp

School starts on the 17th. And another trials for a BAS event will happen during the same week. I. am. ready.

This will probably be the last post for a few weeks, I will be too busy to update this space. Need to spend the time tomorrow packing my iDARE things, calling contacts and doing some last minute tasks for work. (I'm still helping the office out through emails, because it's peak season now). I need to start sorting out clothes for my other camps too. I'm running short of tshirt and shorts for camps.

I'm gnna see these people almost every week for the next few months ^^

EF CREW 2011. WE CAN DO THIS!!!

With Love,

2011-09-27T00:32:00.002+08:00

Just a short post for my SCs:
I'm really thankful for all the effort that you guys put into the Group 3. Be it helping to plan for outings/ offering to help us/ attending our outings. I can never stop being so ever grateful to you guys.

Honestly, this whole SCO/ASCO thing is really new to me. I've never really taken charge of outings like these before. Being scared of poor responses, worrying about wet-weather, wondering if you guys will enjoy the games, whether others will feel awkward. So many things that I fear might ruin the outing.

But this is all a new experience to me, and to me it's all part of the learning process. But the fact that I know there are people out there who are willing to support Group 3, really touches me. It amuses me that even though I got to know most of you through Group 3, many of you have become my friends. And I guess it's because of all these good outcomes that keeps me going. So yeap, you guys are really the real motivation behind Group 3.

Outings never need to have full attendance for it to be a success. As long as you guys have enjoyed yourselves and have gotten closer together as a family. To me, it really is a true successful outing. I look forward to working with you awesome people and getting to know more of you. I am ever so grateful for you guys. Love you all~

I Wanna Go

2011-09-24T20:46:00.005+08:00

Back from 6 days of camps. Am so mentally drained. The physical part is slowly starting to sink in, but it's not as bad. I guess I've gotten used to these kind of schedules. EF crew camp and TCP camp, back to back, was quite a challenge.

Anyway, It feels so good to be home, having fruits + vegs to eat. Felt so unhealthy the entire time when I was at school. Holidays aren't really much of holidays to me. The entire time I was at my camps, emails from work kept coming in. And right now, I have a pile of delayed emails to address, and other work stuff to settle. Even right now, at this second, I can see my blackberry's email icon blinking. Yay emails.

Anyway, EF crew camp was tiring, but I still enjoyed myself. I'm sure the crew members must have been much more drained. I'm glad I'm in crew, they are such a fun bunch of people. Seeing everyone put in ideas and giving their all during the matches. I really can't wait to work with them. I guess you could say the camp managed to bond us. Because for me, I was acquainted to many of them, but close to a few But this camp managed to break a lot of barriers, and it was really easy to talk to the members.So yeaap, I'm so thankful that I'm in crew ^^

As for TCP camp. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SAID. It really was enriching and inspiring. I found a new role model through this camp. She is really someone I look up to. Hearing everything in her life, and seeing how God played a part in all these. This camp really had a deeper meaning to me, it taught me on how God's wonders can be done through an individual's life. And her contributions are so amazing, I don't know how she even managed to accomplish so many things.
For those who went for TCP, you should probably know which woman I'm talking about. I can't even type the details here because there are more TCP camps to go, and I don't want to spoil the fun.But I'm really inspired to be an independent woman like her. Having such great faith in the Lord and serving others. If only I had more time to talk to her. Was so nervous during my conversation with her because she was so charismatic.

I'm really glad I went for TCP :)

This is just a short update on my life. Need to start replying emails now and head to bed.

2 more weeks to Seth and Jacq's return~

Was looking through photos in facebook (again). Because I was missing FOC a lot. Really the best camp I went to ever since I came to NP. And then I saw photos of my long hair.

(THIS IS GOING TO BE QUITE A WHINY GIRLY POST. So, pardon me.)

Was thinking of putting extensions. But I heard extensions hinders hair growth..... And I don't want to trim my hair because it'll make my hair shorter. GAH. I liked my hair when it was really short. And I loved my hair when it was really long. I just hate this length when it's growing out. If you're wondering how short my hair actually was, it was so short, my whole neck could be seen. TRUST ME. It was friggin short. But I liked it. Heh.

I cut my hair in December after my trip to Korea. And yesss here it is when I first got it cut.

SEE. 12/15/2010.
Took this photo on the day I got my hair cut. And as you can see, the entire back part of my neck is actually exposed, the length couldn't cover it. But you can't see it clearly in this photo cos the jacket collar covers the back part of my neck.

Every once in a while I have rants of me missing my long hair.

Anyway, I got back my results. Not very happy with it, but I guess I deserved it. Lesson learnt was that I shouldn't rely too much on my own strength to pull myself through exams. Throughout all my exams in secondary school, God has always been my reason why I studied so hard for. But lately ever since I got busy with my own activities, I didn't center my life around Him. I relied on my own strength for the exams. And so, it really proved to me that I can't do anything without God's strength.
In any case, everything is part of His plan and I'll just accept it the way it turned out. Have to buck up so much next sem to pull my overall up.

Finished a weekend of BAmazing, it was a long weekend. But I still had fun ^^

Good job to BAmazing commiteee, you guys did great :) And also to the participants, hope you guys had fun! Please continue to give your support to Society events, we'll promise you more fun in the future. I can't wait for BAMP actually, mainly cos I love camps. Hehe.

On my way back home yesterday, I felt really faint. The air felt thin, my head was light, and I heard ringing in my ears. I was so tired. But I didn't think it was because of the stations that was draining. It was probably cos I'm WEAK. Don't know where all the weak curses came from. But comparing to the committee, they must have been totally wiped out too. AAAH.

At the same time, I started worrying about everything I had to do this holiday. I received emails during BAmazing from work, and I'm so afraid I won't be able to finish my tasks before my work ends. I thought of the SL interview this week, and having to take leave for that again. I thought of iDARE briefing, and also having to take leave for that. TAKING LEAVE FROM WORK REALLY SUCKS. Cos I feel so bad everytime I request to take leave. I took so many leaves for my camps, that the number of days I'm working became 15 days out of the entire holiday. Sucks to be me. And I haven't been back in school for GB at all. I feel so bad. I had to skip playmax event with 28th coy cos of BAmazing too.

My 2 week holidays in December is already pretty much booked down. A 28th officer's retreat (most likely going for that), a family holiday, and BAMP. Oh and how can I forget, there's christmas too.

Anyway, I did housing when I was in bangkok. So my BB looks like that now. I actually wanted purple and baby pink, but they didn't have pink so I chose green instead. As for the keypad, they were in thai characters, so I didn't change them.

Heh my nice mani done in Bangkok got ruined during BAmazing, now it's all chipped.

Holidays have been fineeee, currently working at the cooking studio now. I really like the new office. The old one back in novena was just one unit with one kitchen. But the current studio is a one storey building with 3 kitchens, a herb garden, 1 big office, and lots of green and scenery. Hehe, I took some photos of the place.
Sorry for the poor quality btw, taken using my bb heh.

The office

The other side of the office, and my work table whoooop ^^

The view from my worktable, omg this is getting quite lame HAHA

One of the kitchens

This was during the opening launch of the cooking studio.

So yeaap, I quite like my job. Just so you know, I don't do the cooking and stuff haha. My work at the office would be coordinating the schedule of the guest chefs and other stuff. The team teaches me a lot of things about businesses, mostly on the marketing and publicity portion. Which is what I hope to do in the future :) So yeap I'm really grateful that they took me back in to work under them even though it's for such a short time. I took a lot of leaves, like A LOT. I took leave for Bamazing, idare briefing, tcp camp, idare, bamp trials. And so I couldn't take leave for the EF crew camp.

So this is where I'm working for now till the end of this month :)

REALLY EXCITED FOR BAMAZING HEHE, BAS FAMILY ^^
Seth and Jacq whatsapped me from China, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Land of Smiles

2011-09-05T19:32:00.004+08:00

I'M BACK FROM BANGKOK!
It was a good 3 days of shopping, food and fun. Shopping was mad (because wholesale is so cheap there). I got to experience bangkok traffic jams and thai massages for the first time. Cheap manicure and taxi rates, and the glorious thai food- tom yum, beef ball noodles, mango sticky rice. The weather's similar to Singapore, just less humid and much more hotter. I could feel the heat burning on my skin when I was walking along the streets. But the items there are cheap, provided you go to the wholesale malls.

Anyway, these are the few places I went to for shopping.

Platinum Shopping Mall.
A definite must go. About 6 floors, and 3 zones, sprawling with shops. The shops are really organised too. Like a few floors for clothes, another floor for bags and shoes, etc. And when you buy wholesale (buying more than 2/3 pieces in a shop), you can purchase it at a cheaper price. So it's best if you go with a friend. For me, I went with my sister. So whenever we go to a shop with clothes we like, we'll pick up 1 or 2 pieces each. So we can get them at wholesale prices :) But you have to find and hunt properly for clothes. My sister and I religiously walked past every single shop, to avoid missing out on good buys.

Wholesale prices are really cheap by the way, like 8bucks for a blouse that can be sold at 20bucks plus back in Singapore. YEAAAAAH~ This is how we shopped like heck in one day, because the items are so cheap, so we buy everything on impulse. But it's worth it compared to shopping in Singapore.

Mah Boon Krong Centre
My hotel was beside this shopping mall, so I went there everyday throughout my stay. I wouldn't really say this would be a good places for clothes. They sell the tech-y stuff there. If you want a place to get your bb housings, iPhone, iPad covers, cameras and all the stuff, it would be a good place to go. The shops there have more of a variety. Sunglasses, bags, shoes, cosmetics, tailors, printing shops, etc. Instead of just clothes alone. So yeah it might get a little boring.

Streets near Siam Centre
I don't know if the streets I went to was near this area. It's located opposite Mah Boon Krong. The streets reminded me a lot of shopping in Seoul. Cos Thailand's heavily influenced by korean/japan fashion, so the theme of these shops there are very similar to Korean retail shops. Anyway, the clothes here are sold at a higher price, mainly because it's more of the youth street area. But still, there are pretty cool stuff that can be bought there ^^

I went to one more place called Siam Paragon, reminded me a lot of takashimaya+ISETAN. It's like the departmental stall kind of mall. Good food at the basement though ^^

Quite a wordy post I would say. And SORRY I DIDN'T TAKE MUCH PHOTOS. I didn't bring my camera out when I went shopping, because it was such a hassle, and all the extra baggage. Heh. I took photos of the hotel room if that counts ahaha. The room had quite a good view of the skyline at night cos it was on the 28th floor. But the photo would end up showing the reflection instead of the view. This is just a day and night photo of the view.

Seee, you can only see the reflection, and not the skyline at night.

AND I STARTED PLAYING TINY TOWER HOHOHO

This trip was a real retail therapy for me. First time that I bought so much clothes in a day. I can't wait for school to start hehe. I don't need to shop for the rest of the semester. My new wardrobe's sufficient to last me for a long time. Also because I get to share clothes with my sister. So new clothes for school, doubled up ^^

Camden Markets

2011-09-01T23:30:00.003+08:00

Went back to KCP today for teachers day. I guess I can really say that there were a few teachers in KCP that did make an impact in my life. The very first teacher would definitely be Miss Foo. Who has been there for me since Sec 1. Even until now. From just a geog teacher, to a gb officer, to a captain, and to someone who advised me in decisions. She supported me greatly when I wanted to go to poly even though she rather I went to JC. I will never forget when she took care of me when I was down with fever + food poisoning back in Cambodia. I love her ^^ If not for her, I wouldn't have love geog and GB so much.

A part of KCP will always remain in me, I loved all my 4 years spent there. All the memories and friendships made back in KCP will never be forgotten. I guess one reason why I enjoyed KCP so much was really because of the people and GB. I was blessed with wonderful friends, teachers and opportunities. Like I said before, GB really shaped me to who I am today. And I am ever so proud to be a GB girl :) So yeah, if not for KCP, I wouldn't have entered the 28th coy.
I miss GB so much :( Haven't seen my officers in ages since ATC ended. Been to caught up with BA stuff that I didn't have the chance to go back to help. Sigh.

Anywayyy, I met the girls for dinner. Hehe love them. Friggin noisy girls who never fail to make me smile. And I'm so proud of them. ^^ Didn't have enough time to catch up with them cos I had to rush back home. We definitely need to meet again soon. Love you girlzzzzz. 4 years and counting, they will always be the best clique in my heart.

Last night in Singapore before I leave to Bangkok. I won't be gone for long. Will be back on Sunday. Till then, stay healthy and happy~

Spare Change

2011-08-31T19:09:00.003+08:00

Had the Group 3 BBQ yesterday! It drizzled in the afternoon-evening. Was so afraid that the drizzle would continue till the BBQ. But whoop! It stopped just before the others came. I'm so grateful for all those who helped out, especially those who prepared and did the food ^^

As for those who came down for the BBQ, I'm thankful you guys came. The BBQ would not have been a success if not for you guys :)

Seth and Jacq will be leaving to China for 5 weeks. I really am going to miss them a lot. Sad thing I can't see them off cos I'm only touching down at night, and they'll be gone in the morning. Gonna miss the two of em a lot :(

Anyway, here are some of the photos from the BBQ.

Joyce and Joline. I love these 2 girls. ^^

House of Film #2

2011-08-28T23:39:00.005+08:00

This is just a continuation of my previous post.

Decided to list the places I would recommend you guys to go after exploring Singapore ^^

1) SOTA

SOTA's architecture is beautiful. I always saw SOTA from the outside but never went in. Sad thing is that we couldn't access the 2nd floor onwards. Only the first floor was open to the public. SOTA also has a gallery, which explains the very good lighting in some of the photos in the previous post. The artwork there is pretty cool too, unique stuff. And it's not boring. Unless you really hate art to no end. I would really recommend visits to SOTA :)

2) 15 minutes at LASELLE

Laselle is another place with beautiful architecture. Haha it's an arts school too, so yeah arts schools = beautiful schools. There's this cafe called 15 minutes there. I have never been to Laselle before. Who knows if I'm the only loser who didn't know that they had such a cool cafe there. Anyway, it's a good place to chill and hang. High ceilings, and a lot of natural light. Laselle isn't far from the mrt either, walkable distance (I would say) from dhoby ghaut. I never ate at this place before, we just paid it a visit. I'm the kind that will choose environment over quality. Haha quite dumb. But still, usually when the environment is good, the food shouldn't be that bad right.

3) Cafetables at Haji Lane

Okay. I am bored of haji lane. Really. I've been there many times, and I'm just, well, bored of the whole street. But I always loved the interiors of some of the shops. And there's this cafe called cafetable. A small cafe that sells drinks. I first went there with sarah yim and had lemon meringues. But now they don't sell desserts anymore. But still a cosy place, and the staff are so friendly. Heeeee.

Just a small little follow-up post, to share with you guys on the good places we visited yesterday. I AM GONNA START HUNTING FOR MORE PLACES. WHOOOOOP ^^

House of Film

2011-08-28T21:57:00.003+08:00

Explored Singapore with abby and lijie yesterday. Armed with 6 cameras, 1 DSLR, 1 film SLR, 1 holga, 1 fisheye and 2 polaroids.

We went to SOTA, LASELLE, bugis, haji lane, city hall, CHIJMES and town

Besides travelling from haji to city hall, and from chijmes to town. We walked by foot alllll the way. Visited a few galleries along the way too. I didn't know S'pore was so small ._.

1) SOTA

2) LASELLE

3) Haji Lane

Ran into joyce hehe ^^

3)CHIJMES

NOW, I'm gonna show you the FILM PHOTOS. I always loved film photography, especially the grainy vintage effect. Taking photos and anticipating how it will look like after being developed.

1) Abby's fisheye cam! (it's actually her friend's)

2) Claria's holga (lijie borrowed it from her)

None of us knew how to use holga. So the double exposure effect was quite a failure.

The fail photo.... you can see arab street and my face in the middle. Sigh.

3) My film cam! I uploaded photos of it in my previous blog. Last time I used it was when I went out with Sarah yim earlier this year. Never brought it out again because I had to go buy new batts. This film cam belonged to my dad, it's over 30 plus years old. I may not know everything about lenses and exposures, focus and shutter speed. But to me, photography is just the way you let the world see pictures from your point of view.

All time favourite photo :)

Much more photos can be found in my photo albums on facebook :) It was a really awesome day spent with them. We explored the place, by foot. And BAM, we pass by something really cool. It was my first time visiting art galleries too, never thought I would find galleries this amusing.

I really enjoyed myself with the two of them yesterday.

Went out with oli, adam, ernest, jeremy and yongen for kbox today.

Going to meet my group 3 members for the BBQ tomorrow.

Life is great ^^

SCHOOLZ OUT

2011-08-26T22:47:00.004+08:00

HOLIDAYS ARE HERE. I'm going to make sure I enjoy this holiday to the fullest and make the best out of it. When sem 2 comes, I'm going to make sure I work hard. I am not going back on my word. I wasted sem 1 really badly.
I'm not expecting a really good GPA this time round, but I did try my best. And I'll give all glory to Him at the end.

I've got a wholeeeee lot of stuff going on this holiday.

1) Bangkok trip next weekend (OH THE SHOPPING)

2) BAmazing

3) TCP camp

4) EF crew camp

5) iDARE

7) Back to work at the cookyn studio ;)

8) Sticking to a routine of exercising (NEED TO LOSE THE WEIGHT GOSH)
9) Get back to playing the piano

10) Scrapbooking, lots and lots of scrapbooking

11) Sleep early, with plentiful of rest (in hope of saving my complexion :/)

Okay hahahah the points toward the end aren't exactly stuff that are going on, just things I wanna do with all the time I have :) I guess one good thing about completing modules is that you can forget every single shit about it during the holidays ^^

Anyway, one of my favourite things to do is to look through past photos/letters/blog entries/videos. And I came upon the USS video with the fatass kids from fb. I uploaded it on vimeo instead. I wanna start making videos, so yeaap I'll probably post them there. But first, I need to get a video cam, I don't know which brand is good. Naomi owned a lumix one which recorded the USS video. Pretty good stuff. Heh. And besides, the school gave me free adobe premier too, so why not just jew it well ^^

USS TRIP from rachkyul on Vimeo.

Going out with my favourite two, abz and popcorn tomorrow. Gonna go explore Singapore, whooop! Been long since I brought my film cam out. Get ready for a reallllly photobombheavyloaded post soon ^^

2011-08-24T21:46:00.003+08:00

Two more papers left. My engine has really burned out. I literally shut myself away from the physical world last week. I would spend the entire day just sitting alone, and just studying my brains out. Right now, I am so sick and tired of all the work.

I sometimes wonder why am I in BA. Yes, I want to do business. But I realised I am actually a mix, of both FMS and BA. But I know my parents would never let me do anything in the media. So yeah, business would have to do it, yay business wooo let's go~
I'll most probably be doing marketing comm in 3rd year. Don't know if I would still want to do int'l business. I remembered I was with so much zest in wanting to do int'l biz just one year ago, applied everything I could do to get in but got rejected each time. My goals in life keep changing. One moment I want to be an entrepreneur and venture out of S'pore, next I wanna do marketing comm. Life life life life, I hate making decisions, I hate change, and hate seeing the future, and hate growing up, and hate time for passing so fast, and hate myself for being such a whiny idiot. k bye.

Super Bass

2011-08-20T22:41:00.007+08:00

I'm trying out photobucket to upload my photos. Cos I realised the picture I upload are rather small in the posts.

So hmmm, here goes.

A few events that happened during the past few weeks. Actually all these happened a really long time ago, BUT ANYWAY

1) Hair For Hope. So proud of my 2 favourite buddies for shaving bald for a cause :) They're such strong people and I love them ^^ Abby and lijie, the people that I hang really often with in NP. We're all from different courses btw haha. But now I can't meet them cos I'm isolating myself from the world.... curse you exams. Miss them so much, been such a long time since I last saw them.

This polaroid was actually taken WAY back. A really long time ago. Was supposed to upload this on facebook but I delayed it till.... yes now. But now that my facebook is deactivated. I guess I'll post it here first :)

^^ proud of you two, always and forever.

2) BANG! with the FATASS kids!

The fatass kids came down to support oli in BANG! I was so happy to see them. They were the ones that lasted with me through upper sec. One crazy fun bunch of genuine people. Who love to eat, a lot. I'm serious.

Haha I love the vlog that Sarah posted on facebook (i know you're reading this Sarah ;) ) Though.... it didn't exactly serve its initial purpose of giving a tour...

This was taken when we were doing the vlog. Us in our own world.

KCPians, whoop! ^^

Oli ^^

3) MY NEW ROOM

Okay this.... happened many months ago HAHAHAH. I moved into the study room. Got a wardrobe built in, and a bed too. I miss my previous room which I shared with my sister. Because it had a really big painting of Audrey Hepburn, victorian wallpaper stretched across, a walk in wardrobe, and an attached toilet T_T A really pretty room. Sigh.

But it's alright, cos I'm happy having my own room ^^

4) And one more thing I would like to show you guys

I bought this from some german mini mart the other day, NUTELLA GOODNESS ^^

I will try blogging more frequently, and with picture loaded posts in the future.

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR EXAMS!! ^^

The girls

2011-08-18T21:16:00.007+08:00

I am supposed to be studying for MIEC now. But these few days, I've been missing these girls. Life in KCP seemed so distant ever since I came to NP. And it's been such a long time since we all met up.

Many memories with these girls. I miss them a lot, especially the memories from sec1. I realised we were so gangsta hahahha. (Back in 1 and 2 truth)

-Toilet trips, the whole big gang goes to the toilet. GIRL POWER UH HUH.

-Recess, where we would all sit together and occupy the entire table.

-Recess, wednesdays we would spam the 20 cents wantons. Be it 10 or 20 pieces.

-Recess, we cut queues, especially when at the noodle stall.

-The lockers, where all of us had the lockers in one of the lowest rows, side by side. We would all sit on the bench to open the lockers and complain on how squeezy it was.

-Our laughter. For some reason, when we laugh, we laugh in all directions and we sometimes end up violently hitting each other.

-Our laughter. We can laugh till we just sit or squat on the floor, BE IT ANYWHERE.

The list can go a long way. It's nice to know that I had such great fun with them, they really made me enjoy my time in KCP :)

I'm glad we still hung out together even though we all went to our separate classes in upper sec.

I miss you girls so much, hope to see you all soon ♥♥♥♥

Winding Back Up

2011-08-15T19:59:00.003+08:00

Exams are in a week. After which, an entire sem in poly would have flown by. Just like that. And I deactivated facebook for the good of my studies.

I'm searching for what I lost when I came to poly- my purpose and all my discipline.

WHOOP

2011-08-09T17:11:00.003+08:00

I need to lose weight.

And I just had ice cream.

Help.

FROM NOW ON.

I will only eat my 3 meals. No snacking, soft drinks, desserts.

And I have to exercise. Omggg, I AM SUCHA LAZY BUM.

If you see me breaking any of the rules, just whack me real hard. THANKS.

The Way I Am

2011-08-05T19:13:00.011+08:00

Today was a good day. It was nice to be in a still environment in the evening. Breaking away from the noise and crowd. It was one of those days that I didn't want to be around people. Just being alone or with a few close friends would be good enough. And I do like being quiet, as much as it doesn't seem like it.

Still enjoying school, mainly because of the people. I don't like the fact that it's independent studying still. Because I have no discipline in following up on my lectures and tutorials. I am such a failure in that. But still, I enjoy what am I doing. I hope I am talking logic ahahahhaa.

Met the BAS people for dinner. Main comm was so friendly and warm ^^ I am so ever happy that I'm in the BAS Family. It's quite sad to know that the BAS Family will only last for a year, but BAS Family will always remain in my heart. CAs, main comm and sub comm, the SCOs and even my group 3 SCs! Will never forget them. Though I have yet to get to know everybody well, I am glad that I'm in such a loving environment. I love BA Society. One of the best thing that has happened to me since I came to NP.

Am gonna miss Seth and Jacq a lot when they leave.

My Heart's a Stereo

2011-08-04T18:07:00.002+08:00

In school doing reports now. Am so tired, but decided to blog to stay awake and to keep this space alive. Have been missing wenhui a lot, a lot.

I really miss my BFF. Be happy and healthy k, I don't want you to fall sick or be upset. I can't wait to see you on Sunday. It's been so long since we hung out. Our schedules are always clashing and conflicting. Thanks for always coming down to NP to meet me, even though you're supposed to be the one on the difficult end. Thank you for making this friendship always work out.

Love you a lot, cos there's no other BFF out there that can replace you. You really are very special to me, and I am so grateful to have you as my BFF. I am so proud to tell people of my bestfriend from JC. A strong, pretty, cute, bubbly, friendly, adorable, lovely bestfriend. I'm sorry if I haven't been replying you frequently or meeting you up as often. Love you so much <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Am so ever thankful to have you in my life <3 Miss you so much <3 Love you and don't ever forget that <3

Expectations

2011-07-25T22:45:00.004+08:00

The two words that just made me feel like crap. I can't split myself into 2. I can't be there all the time. I can't please everybody. I hate pleasing this world. I hate pleasing myself. Shit all of it. I just earned myself a whole new series of disappointing people.

Will anyone realise how tiring it actually is?

Skyscraper

2011-07-22T01:31:00.002+08:00

I love everyone around me, so please. I want you all to be happy. Disappointments, troubles, regrets, problems, conflicts, pain, hurt. All of it, God please take them all away.

For the first time in weeks, I finally had some time alone. Not talking to people and just enjoying the loneliness. It gave me a lot of time to think. The past few weeks have been madness for me. I didn't have time for church, friends, family, not even myself. I don't know how much I can go on because I keep expecting so much of myself. I am taking everything in but not letting it out. Where the limit is, to how far I can push myself to. I'm not even sure. If there's one person to get me out of this cycle, it's me.

And I can't even help myself for nuts.

Heartstrings

2011-06-30T20:10:00.004+08:00

I'M BACK! Sorry for not updating this space during the week. Was totally burned out after my 3 camps last week. Last week was really one physically and mentally draining week. But nevertheless, it was fun :)

Envoys camp, was really one blasting screaming camp. I seriously love cheering ever since FOC, so yeah, I just exploded during envoys camp. Pyxis ahhhhh~ Made some good friends in envoys camp too ^^

GB camp, was very new. Being a JO and seeing how our efforts paid off was rewarding. I still feel very apologetic to the camp committee for not staying throughout the camp. You guys did well, with such little manpower, you girls really carried everything out well. I love my officers and my JOs~
It was especially touching seeing the sec3 gb girls grow to become leaders. It wasn't long ago when they first entered gb as sec1s, and our batch took care of them. And now they're all capable gb girls. :') aww~ GB really makes the strongest girls :)

As for society camp, it sure was one crazy draining camp, but I love the society family. Quite sad I could make it only on the second day though. Oh and trekking at 7am in the morning, together with tug of war seriously proved that I was one weakling. I had to suffer with muscle aches everywhere. Couldn't even walk, move, cough or carry things in peace. SIGH. I NEED TO EXERCISE.
To BAo family, I will give you two my support all the way k! I can see your projects are really piling and drowning you two. Don't know if you'll be reading this, but I'm glad you two are my SCOs for BAOC. Never regretted joining BASoc because of you two :) As tiring as school may get, I hope we'll stay strong as a team. I will be your happy pill, love you Seth and Jacq. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH!!!!

Got my CT results back, not very happy about it. Could have done way better, but I guess I just have to learn things the hard way. Now I've got to buck up and suck it up. Really can't afford to lose out anymore. Society, envoys and GB commitments. Especially with EF crew recruitment coming up, if I ever get in EF crew. I'm in for one crazy year.

Nobody's going to help me, except myself. So yeah, gotta pull my socks up. Have always been indifferent towards my results, until I got back my MIEC today. And comparing my results with others. It's really nothing to be proud of.
OKAY TO DO THOSE WHO WANT TO COME TO POLY, SRSLY THINK TWICE K. I won't discourage you from coming, but you have to have FREAKING GOOD DISCIPLINE if you ever come to poly.
I still love my course, just that it's some modules that I just hate. Like ITB. (I'm going to start ranting right now) WHY IN THE WORLD AM I LEARNING ABOUT CD RAMS, CPUS, TROJAN HORSES. I came to BS for a reason, I understand the whole using IT in business thing. But I don't understand why I am learning about computer parts. Nothing makes sense to me. There's a reason why I am in business studies you know.

Oh my goodnesss, where did all my discipline from KCP go to.

Offbeat

2011-06-18T22:44:00.004+08:00

Heee okay I've been changing my blog banner everyday, because I'm never satisfied with it. So yeaa I'm pretty happy with the current one so I'll stick with it :)

This week has been a great week, going out with friends, getting to know some of the people from TB24 who I don't talk to often, spending time with my family. Yes it's been good.

I met vito yesterday, we were talking about how we should be thankful for the blessings in life. Having a complete and healthy family, may seem like a norm to everyone. But there are people out there who are hurting. I shouldn't be taking my parents for granted. Being able to see them everyday, receiving their care and love, is something I should be truly grateful for. You never know if one day, your life may plunge rock bottom.

Okay enough with the 'deep' thoughts. This blog's gonna be stagnant for a week or more, because the whole of next week I'm gonna be at camps.
Having envoys camp on mon to wed.
GB camp on thurs. (missing out the first day of society camp, and I'm day I/C for GB camp on this day, can seriously faint at the thought of it)
Society camp on fri to sat. (I HAVE TO REPORT AT NP AT 6AM ON FRI OMGAHAHHA)
At which once society camp ends on sat, I'll head back for GB camp, which will end on sun.
I'll probably burn out by then. Haha but I really enjoy camps, and I believe the camps I'm going for next week won't fail me. I am already assured that it'll be crazy fun :)

AM SO HAPPY I MANAGED TO SPEND THE WHOLE OF THIS WEEK WITH MY FRIENDS ^^
Envoys, GB and society camps, bring it on, WOOOOOOOOOOOO~

HI GUYS!

My friend Sarah started a fashion/food blog. She's 17, studying in melbourne, a really artsy girl, with forever cool hair. One moment she has an undercut, next moment she has green hair. Yes, I have such a cool friend.
She doesn't look 17 through the way she dresses, really. I like her style, even though I will never wear what she wears. But she puts clothes together well, and her personality is expressed a lot through the way she dresses. I don't think she'll bore you out, cos honestly speaking she never bores me out. One of the most interesting friends I have, and interesting in a good way.

So yes, please do visit her blog @ flashalternate

Back again

2011-06-16T21:20:00.003+08:00

O RIGHT SO IM BACK FROM MY TUMBLR BLOG (eighthspectrum). HM. YEAH. HI. THIS IS GOING TO BE MY BLOG... YEAAA.

New Year, Goodbye

2010-01-03T19:58:00.004+08:00

This is my 2010 resolution.

Stop blogging because it's totally no use. (not much of a resolution haha)

Stop kpoping superjunior fangirling (this is so saddening) ONCE the koreans leave and start focusing on my Os'.

Increase newspaper reading time.

Finish 10 years series for A and E math.

Be patient, be very very very patient.

Be understanding, be very very very understanding.

Work harder, much much much harder.

School's starting tomorrow.

I've finished my homework. I feel enlightened, and at peace.

I think my holidays were awesome.

Korea, Australia, Cambodia.

Korea was amazing.

Australia was special.

Cambodia was tiring but fufilling.

Goodbye world.

Spread The Hope

2009-12-22T21:40:00.002+08:00

I am back again!
This time, from CAMBODIA, and I finally have access to the internet!
I was actually back on Saturday already heh!

I believe I will finish my school work soon.
After I finish watching my last 2 episodes of Iris.
(:
(:
But apparently the main leads die.
What kind of sad story line is that.
-,-

Went out with the girls today, had so much fun! Photos on facebook.
SEEEEEYA

Don't Forget

2009-12-12T14:33:00.014+08:00

YA! I'm back! Actually, I was back like 3 days ago already, but anyway. I'm leaving tmr, again! This time to Cambodia.
I just came back from Australia. Completed some of my hw there. Yes I feel accomplished! My holidays didn't go to waste. Before I left to australia, I did the same VBC childrens' camp thing since I was P6. Aw, and I took the k1-p1 class. Couldn't take any pictures this time round, they made some rule for that.

I got a new dog! Mixed breed. I don't know exactly what breed. But he's crazy strong. Smaller than my previous dog, but stronger.

HEH! When I return, the last 3 episodes of Iris will be subbed.

Here are some of the photos from aus. I didn't upload all, cos I can't be bothered.

Next year's a huge year.

A really huge year.

Script ed

2009-11-22T18:23:00.002+08:00

I'm writing the script.
I'm writing the script.
I'm writing the script.

I finished e learning bio. There's only one homework assignment. The rest are all power point slides.
I still have lots and lots of things to do.

I want to watch Iris.
I want to watch Iris.
I want to watch Iris.

But first,
I have to finish writing the script.

The Night Chicago Died

2009-11-20T22:50:00.005+08:00

I've got to start waking up and doing my homework.

I finally got my chemisty mole calculations back into my senses, because I am finally having chem tution. Which will end in 1 lesson. Because I'm going to be away again.

For once, I'm getting ticks for my mole calculations. Now it's that stupid salts and solubility crap that I have to go through again.

Oh and yeah, I have yet to do any of my holiday homework. Which I have to start doing. Especially e learning which I know I will do at the last minute. I think some of my assignments are already overdued. Haha, oh the wonders of procastination.

I'm still in the post-korea mood.

I'm so dead.

I really want to go back to korea. Maybe because, in korea. I really felt free and I had totally nothing on my mind. We were really playing and enjoying ourselves like nuts. The food, the shopping, the people. The EVERYTHING! Oh, and the peace signs, hahaha! You feel awkward when you don't do the twist signs with the korean students.

Ha, DS3 tomrrow.

Time to polish boots and knock my head back to reality. I am getting super pissed by myself.

EYUGH!

I really like this picture alot. We had super mega lots of fun screaming when the wind blew.

It was -4 degrees, and we were wearing clothes for 10 degrees.

JINSIL!

2009-11-13T21:20:00.006+08:00

IM TALKING TO JINSIL ON THE PHONE NOW WITH STELLA AND SUANZEEEEE!!!!!! HEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Okay, just now halfway during the conv. We got cut off from her.
And she messaged me on fb. (I dont think she knows how to use fb well)

This is her second message written in korean:

Wanders about but sees plentifully and to want ^^ does and the end is many too under is long is difficult and in English and understands and ~~ is like that but the Korean which spreads out well does there will be a possibility of knowing I talks all to put out ♥

to love is born but wants =BO KO SHI POOO!

This is my second message written in korean:

I don't understand korean

I MISS YOU

I'm using the translator

Hopefully this works

I used the babblefish translator, and it helped a LITTTLLLEE bit.

Anyway, I had an awesome time on the phone.

JINSIL AHHHHHHHHHH!

Aigooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

GAJA

2009-11-12T17:58:00.005+08:00

I'M BACK FROM KOREA!

Had an awesome time there. I only uploaded the suncheon photos onto fb. I'll upload the rest some other time.

This is a studio photo of SNSD endorsing SPAO.

This is the real huge one at the dondaemun market.

Ah this is the super junior version. ha!

And, IT WAS HUGE.

The van was closer to us, thats why it seems kinda small in picture.

But compare the size to the open door in the super junior picture.

IT IS HUGE! (probably around 3 storey high)

yeah, and all of us went mad.

I miss jinsil like mad now.

Drunk on Sleep

2009-11-02T13:45:00.007+08:00

Fun camp finally ended.
My muscle aches became worse ever since touch rugby inter class. I slipped on wet ground and fell on dry ground on the field. Stupid scabs were swollen like another layer of skin.

Sentosa was crazy on the second day. I've never felt so frustrated, yet so happy. Seriously, one moment we were way before the schedule, the next moment we were almost 1hour behind schedule.

Thank God everything went well.

You can see how sun burnt we were from the pictures, esp the first few.

Had such an awesome time on the luge ride, the sky ride was... scary. I don't understand how people can NOT be afraid of heights. I mean, it's so high.

So sorry to Joanne and Felicia for tolerating my nonsensical screaming during the sky ride.

BUT STILL THE LUGE WAS AWESOME!

Racing down with the others, if only they made the track longer.

I AM GOING TO BE AWAY

GOODBYE SINGAPORE AND SUPP CLASSES FOR A WEEK!

HELLO ANNYEONGHASEYO LAND.

GREETINGS TO KIMCHI AND HANBOKS!

Yes joanne, I CAN'T WAIT!

SIXMOREDAYZ

2009-10-27T21:41:00.004+08:00

YAY SIX MORE DAYS TO LEAVING THE COUNTRY.
Okay, my korean buddy is awesome.

I don't care.

She's awesome to me.

Never talked to her before.

But she'll forever be awesome to me.

HAHA IM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY AND WHATEVER THAT IS GOOD.

YAY!

Man I'm going crazy.

Keanna and I were stuck to the computer last monday the entire time. (While the rest were EXTREMELY BUSY taking photos)

I could only find like 3 or 4 photos with me and keanna in the picture. Out of the 70+ photos taken. The rest did not have our faces at all. And yeah, it's my camera.

HAHA!

Okay and these were from the baking thing at miss foo's house.

There are still loads of them in my computer.

Heh.

I can't wait for the korea trip.

I can't wait for the weather.

I can't wait to spend the night playing cards and games with the rest!

OKAY THIS IS GONNA BE WAY AWESOME!

2009-10-22T23:17:00.005+08:00

yah okay.

i unlocked my blog again. In case you did not know, i locked my blog for like 5 days or so.
if you did not know about it, just goes to show how boring my blog is.
i unlocked it cos it feels weird not typing into this box i see before me (once every month)

yah bye.

Breathing Breakers

2009-10-15T23:15:00.010+08:00

I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS FREE IN SO LONG
Have not touched my blog/msn/fb/twitter in a longlong time.
Anyway, I won't be going to school for lessons till wednesday! :D
But it's kinda stupid, I returned to school today (just to give my passport) and I have to go back one more time tomorrow, for my vaccinations.

OOOOH!
I'M GOING TO KOREA W/ JOANNE!
I'M GOING TO CAMBODIA WITH GB GIRLS!
I'll be spending my family holiday in aussie, where I'm going to drill myself with chemical analysis, acids, bases & salts, periodicity and freaking binomials. Because I know one thing for sure, I'm 100% failing my chem. I picked studying history over chemistry, and studying bio over emath. Which I do not regret, because, chemistry and emath were probably the hardest papers.

I finally got the pictures from church camp in june. Heh, it's not much. I miss church camp.
:/

Retainers, are really annoying. But I do NOT miss braces.

Einstein

2009-09-11T17:37:00.005+08:00

I'm staring at the elearning screen.
Hoping some chem genius answer will knock into my head.
If only that happened earlier, I would be having fun at sentosa with the rest.

Crap.
I hate chem.
Chem notes are all infront of me. I feel like an idiot flipping through them just to answer stupid MCQs. I did 8, and there's 12 more to go. I hate this.
Not only did I not join the rest today, KBS postponed music bank and I can't watch f(x)'s debut performance. Now I don't know what time they're going to shift it too.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
AW THIS SUCKS!

Oh well, at least there's super junior around, everywhere.

Yes joanne, I was very well addicted to beethoven virus too. The younger maestro guy is super goodlooking right. HA HA HA!

LA chA TA

2009-09-09T21:15:00.004+08:00

f(x) and 4Minute.
Awesome girl group domination.

As for 2PM,
Park Jaebum, all the best in whatever you do.

Jaebum, we'll miss you well.

No Doubt

2009-09-04T17:55:00.005+08:00

I'M BACK FROM CAMP!
I DIDN'T GET BITTEN BY LEECHES!
THANK YOU GOD!

I only had one mosquito bite throughout the whole camp and other insect bites, but it's okay. NO LEECHES BIT ME. All of them fed on 3faith's blood.

Trekked from around 8am in the morning till past 12am the next day.
WHY?
We took 5 hours to trek up to Mt Panti.
Had to wait for ALL the other classes to come down from the peak, and it was damn scary. There was no harness whatsoever. Everyone had to cling onto the ropes, rocks and roots of the trees for their dear life. It took twice as long for all the other classes to just go down the cliff. By the time it reached my class, the sun went down when around 15 plus people were left up there depending on torchlights and hoping they would not fall to their death.
We were so touched 3peace waited for us, 3love (later part of the journey) too!
Me, Naomi and Vito depended on Miss Sharon's ONLY torchlight to lead the way, and we survived. Poor sarah had to depend on her feet to find her way around.

I NOW DECLARE THAT MY NYAA IS DONE AND I CAN GET MY EXPEDITION BADGE FOR GOOD.

They should award us with the superior expedition award. Trekking down the mountain in pitch darkness, falling down and over. Reaching the campsite at 1am, when around 15 hours ago, we left that place.
And now, my muscles are screaming pain all over my body.

OH AND MY BRACES ARE OUT!
I AM OFFICIALLY BRACES FREE!
:D

Scraping Fences

2009-08-29T23:21:00.006+08:00

MY END OF YEAR HOLIDAYS ARE GONNA BE A BLAZZZZZZZT! :D

I signed up for the korea exchange programme and I HOPE I get short listed. I'll be overseas visiting my sister for a few weeks, and I'll be going to Cambodia! How awesomeeeee.

This is probably the last chance I can go to an exchange prog. Never been on one before. NYPS offered so many, but I just couldn't be bothered.

This time, it's KOREA! Not that I'll see super junior or any goodlooking guys. I just wanna go to korea, for korea and superjunior merchandise. HAH!

Anyway, I'll be cursed for 3 days next week with leech encounters. It's preetttyy much raining everyday. So there'll be plentiful of leeches to suck blood.

Someone save me.

I just saw the Happy Bubble MV featuring the two above.

It's so, happy. Too happy.

This is Taemin. Magnae of shining SHINee! Heh, kyuhyun's the magnae of suju too.

Keanna's my major k-buddy. Everytime in school, especially during recess. We talk about SHINee, suju, SHINee, suju, SHINee, suju, SHINee, suju, and other k stuff. We'll never get tired of it.

Still there, Not yet

2009-08-16T21:16:00.005+08:00

KYUHYUN CUT HIS HAIR!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHEEEEEPS!

I can finally watch all the youtube videos I've been adding every single week into my favourites list! Because I didn't have enough time to finish the videos before CT2. I spent my limited computer time during the weekends, on super junior. Really really. My history's flooded with it.
That's why you hardly see me updating my blog or facebook, or even going online.

AND I HAVE NO PAPER TOMORROWWWW! :D
All the best to sarah and naomi for your lit papers! Remember, rachel + super junior loves you. I'm in this ultra ELF fan mode now. Bear with me please.

And I'm also watching SHINee videos now.
*BIGGGGGGGGGGGGG SMILEEEEEEEE*

Falling Slowly

2009-08-14T23:00:00.002+08:00

Severe NDP withdrawal symptoms.

I have no NDP tomorrow.

HOW?

Take This Sinking Boat

2009-08-10T14:03:00.002+08:00

I.
MISS.
NDP.

I feeeeell homeeesiccckkkk for nddppppp ):
I MISS JOEY RUIWEN JESSLYN AND GERALDINE!
I MISS THE MA'AMS
I MISS THE SCREAMING GIRLS
I MISS MY MARKER ROW!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Since April, till now. Who knew we would have gotten so close, yesterday me and huiting were like regretting that we regretted coming for ndp!
GOSH I MISS NDP SO MUCH! I should've baked more cookies and brought my camera. ):
Why can't ndp go on forever and ever, and I can see them every saturday. Yeah, I complain that ndp's tiring the life out of me. But I look forward to the rehearsals every single week, because of the friends I made there.
I fell sick because of ndp toooooo, i almost didn't make it because I was sick since tuesday. I skipped my language papers and didn't go to school for 3 days. Thank God I was able to make it for the real ndp, if not I would have cried my eyeballs out.
HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
My Saturdays suddenly seem so free without ndp. ):

Yes and I only posted this because of NDP.
I'll upload the pictures after CT2, which I'm confident I'll be scraping through.

Smiling Storms

2009-07-12T17:17:00.006+08:00

I bet no one reads my blog anymore. Cos even I don't.

I just got myself ANOTHER commitment. Fun Camp 09.
RACHEL YOU POWER!

I can't be bothered to update this blog anymore. Come back in another month, you'll see one new post up. Cos I only get to use the computer on Sundays. I literally have NO TIME. I'm not allowed to use the computer on mondays-thursdays. I usually use it on friday nights-sundays. But since on friday, I come home from bible study at 10+, I have to start polishing my boots for 2hours while watching the 11.20 music bank repeat till 12 in the morning, because I have BSF on tuesday nights (original timing). Next day report at HQ at 9.30, reaching home at 11+ even when I take a cab. With NE shows for NDP, you come home even later because of all the P5 buses. Next day I go to church, come home. Do work do work and come back on the computer.
Yes I know you love my life.
So do I. At least it's better than doing nothing. I like being busy because there's at least SOMETHING for me to do. But being busy, it totally crashes all the fun.

Baking at Miss Foo's on youth day. COOKIES+WAFFLES+TAMMY= THE BEST!

I marched in the rain yesterday.
Friday was the first time I went out ever since going out to watch hannah montana movie.
I'm getting sj third album soon (mid july), IM SO SUPER MEGA ULTRA HAPPY.
Kaleo camp and cambodia trip BOTH fall on the 14 december. What fate.

Struggle of the Head and Heart

2009-06-23T20:50:00.005+08:00

Crazy schedule.

Church camp's still so real in my mind, I really got to know Shermaine and Glenys better throughout the camp, of course, how can I forget Evangeline. The workshops were really good. And I'm really glad to have awesome childhood friends whom I've grown up with since I was a tiny kid of 4 years old in Sunday school.

I really thank God for letting them in my life.

Had 4 hours of sleep on the last night, we stayed till 3am in the morning playing some pictionary game. Screaming into the night due to over-excitement.

Kaleo was pretty much dominating the night. I didn't take any photos at all. Church camp's a normal thing for me. I mean, I go to church camp every year. So it's nothing VERY special about it. It's the staying in the hotel with your church friends, making you feel like you're living with them, it's that feeling that I love so much. Not forgetting my walk of joy with the Lord.

The photos are with Evan, and she's lazy to post them up. I only have 2, got it from atticus's fb. His pictures, wah, thousands of words.

The day after I came back from church camp, ATC started.
I'm REALLY EXTREMELY VERY GRATEFUL FOR MY GROUP! I hear horror stories from other groups, and I'm so thankful for the sec1s in Empathy. They don't give me any problems in carrying out tasks, EATING FINISH ALL THEIR FOOD, and throughout the ENTIRE camp. I didn't hear a SINGLE complain from them. See? How awesome they are. Plus, Sian was really being an awesome assistant GL. Without her helping me along, I really don't know how my group actually survived. For a girl who just joined GB this year, I think she did really well as an AGL. All the tough times during ATC, I wasn't around.

Left at 4 on the first day, came back for QT the next morning. Whole day at pasir ris. 2nd night, we slept in tents. MY FIRST TIME!
Next day, off to NDP. Missed out a whole day of scolding (changing parade + pumpings + running + more scoldings). Reached back really late, I thought there wouldn't be fire drill. Sadly, there was. But when they started banging the doors, my mind was like, here we go again.
I guess I'm immune to all the trauma in ATC. HAHAHHA!

And you know, in my entire 3 years of cleaning up shower rooms (without fail, I'm always assigned that for area cleaning EVERY YEAR, I'm fated). This year, is the FIRST time, the shower rooms got a 'pass' for the first time after inspection, besides the fact that we had to take away the towels. And it wasn't one, it was both the 2 shower rooms! We got rid of every single strand of hair lying on the floor. I was super duper ultra happy! Last time, we had to keep going back in to clean. That's why, my group's so awesome, we even won the best group award. (:
Hahah, also because they survived very well without me around.

Today, had an ENTIRE day of filming for 8 aug kaleo event. It was way tiring. I'm not allowed to post any of the pictures, the director dilys say must wait for preview on 8 aug. Tahaaa! Evan looked super creepy emo with all the eyeliner. I had alot of fun filming with the group. Whole lot of laughing.

AND, I PSYCHO-ED AMANDA TO LIKING SUPER JUNIOR! SHE SARANGHAE SUPERJUNIOR WOR! :D
SUPER JUNIOR FOR THE WIN! :D

I reaaaaaaalllyyy hope suju can come to singapore for asia tour.
Their promotion ended already. ):
But, super junior M's making a comeback. (if im not wrong)
And, super junior M has CHO KYUHYUN! :D

Waking up in Vegas

2009-06-13T21:23:00.004+08:00

Going to church camp tomorrow.
Coming back on Wednesday.
Going for GB camp on thursday.
Coming back on Sunday.

Erina's at cruise.
Joanne's at cpl camp.
Sarah's going for OBS, and she's going to turn ultra mega dark (i can't imagine).
And Wenhui's going to go to Thailand.

I'm still trying to get kyuhyun on the fb quiz. ):
Oh well, I can't wait for atc camp. It's gonna be my last atc! :D

Seeeyuhz in a longggggggg time!

edited
THE QUIZ IS A TOTAL FAKE!
yeah, maybe because I tried 120937021717221214 million times trying to get kyuhyun, which got me pissed. But they cant possibly have all 13 suju members for the results, right?
they only have max., 10 choices for each question in the quiz.
Rubbish!
Try doing the quiz, see whether you get kyuhyun. If someone proves to me that kyuhyun does exist in the results of that stupid quiz, then i'll keep redoing it till the sky falls.

edited again
OHMYOHMY.
THERE IS KYUHYUN.
AHAHHAHAHAHAH! not that I got it yet. But I really think this quiz is rubbish. HAHHAHA okay whatever.
i should shut and totally get my mind off suju for one whole week.
(:
Pretttyy impossible.

Dull Surprise

2009-06-11T23:02:00.006+08:00

BOREEEEEE!

I come on the computer everyday. But I just don't want to talk to anyone, so I hardly go online. I never come to this blog, because I pretty much can't be bothered to update anything about my life. It's just busybusybusy, ndp blah ndp bleh ndp bloh.

Oh, and now I get my daily dose of suju.

TEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :D

SS501's coming singapore in dec eh, KIM HYUN JOONG eh! F.T. Island's performing too, OH HEECHUL'S CLOSE TO SOMEONE FROM F.T. ISLAND. SO IF I GO AND SEE F.T. ISLAND PERFORM IN SINGAPORE, I'M SEEING SOMEONE HEECHUL HAS SEEN BEFORE.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPS!

Crazy. HAHAHA! And I did this quiz on 'who is your boyfriend/husband in superjunior' I was praying super duper hard to get kyu hyun.

First, I got hankyung. I redid the quiz.

I got ryeowook. I redid it again.

I got ryeowook. I redid.

I got donghae. I redid.

I got ryeowook. I redid.

I got donghae. I redid.

I got ryeowook. I gave up.

I'm going to try to get kyuhyun tomorrow, if not i will NOT be satisfied.

Enough with all that superjunior stuff, bet you're rolling your eyes out of their sockets because you don't know who and what I'm talking about.

All those unheard korean names you see in this post, all from superjunior. That's all you need to know, except for the kim hyun joong, who's that jihu dude from BOF.

TEEHEEE!

Ha, I should shutup.

Wait, one more

OKAY DONE!

Take the air, and turn it inside out

2009-06-04T23:00:00.006+08:00

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Guess what I found out.
KYU HYUN'S A CHRISTIANNNNN!
EHEHHEHEHHEHEHHEHEEEEE!

'How Great Thou Art'

It's totally like the english one, just that the lyrics are in korean.

And and, my muscle aches are disappearing (finally). :D

My legs and back were killing me, because when we were making sandcastles, I was squatting down half of the time. Especially when we were trying to save the castle from the tide. Hahaha, my group's sandcastle was ULTRA RETARDED!

Sergeant's weekend tomorrow. On Saturday, the bus will be coming to pick us up to go for NDP. How- efficient.

You know, people complain about their holidays being too busy because they go out with this person, and then the next day go out with that person. Still can say, 'so busy! so busy!'

Yeah, guess what? I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE TIME TO GO OUT! -,-

I think I'm only going out for 2 days in 3 weeks. Plus I'm not even going out on weekends.

Seriously.

I did not go out with any of my friends for the entire of this week. Next week I'll be going out twice. The following week, i'll be going for 2 camps, one after the other.

Fourth week, I have to rush up on my school work, and church stuff, and frisbee (?)

WAHCRAAAOOOOO!

Tell me, how to enjoy my june holidays. Where does the word 'holiday' fit into this june of mine.

She's cheer captain, and I'm on the bleachers

2009-05-31T18:44:00.003+08:00

Aw shucks.
I have 2 tanlines now, one on the ankle, the other at the gb socks line. How wonderful. Now I look like a clown walking around with three shades of skin colour on my foot.
I can't wait for my braces to be taken off. Next month will mark my 2 years of wearing metal brackets and wires in my mouth. What pain I went through, it probably won't come off for another 3 to 5 months. My teeth are extremely stubborn.

Kyu Hyun's getting into my head, way too much.
I'm starting to dream about Kyu Hyun. Like how I dreamt of Edward Cullen last year. HAHA!

Class outing tomorrow, till 8.30pm. Ugh, june holidays suck. School sucks. I really want church camp to come asap. I'm not dreading ATC camp. Because I wont be around for the first night, and then on Saturday I'll be at NDP. So I'm skipping almost one full day in camp. But it's my last ATC in gb. I don't know whether to be happy or to be sad.

Glowing through His love

2009-05-29T23:06:00.004+08:00

Erina's got her braces on, and she's suffering like I did, ha ha ha ha!
Wenhui's getting her braces on next monday, and naomi's getting hers on the 10 of june.
I memorised all their appointments.

I'm missing out 5 trainings for frisbee. I'm only going for 1. Cool hur? My schedule's seriously mad.
Monday- Supp class, followed by class outing till 8.30pm (miss training)
Tuesday- Supp class till 3.30 (miss training)
Wednesday- Supp class, followed by frisbee, then prayer 24/7 at 4.
Thursday- Supp class, followed by NDP at 3. (miss training)
Friday- Sergeants Weekend (miss training)
Saturday- Sergeants Weekend (miss NDP training, VALID REASON K!)
Sunday- Church (miss training)

Yeah okay, after that. I'll sleep like a pig for the whole week.
And I got bruises in between my thumb and index finger. I think it's the way I catch the frisbee or something. I don't know. So weird. My muscles are aching, it's been a longlong time since I have been so active.

Met up with Evan and Amanda todayyyy, heeeeeee! Didn't go out with the girls, it was a 'tradition' to always go out with them on the last day of school or after the last paper.
I felt really short standing beside evan and amanda, seriously. They're towering girls that make you feel puny. Amanda shot up ALOT! She's almost as tall as Evan. Okay, I'll take a photo with them soon, you'll see how short I am compared to them.
I'm so tired. Have NDP tomorrow, AGAIN. Oh welllll, I wish we have pizza hut tomorrow, please please please please please!

This was taken before Erina took of her braces, I forgot to take a photo of her with braces today. Oh well, soon soon soon.

Knocks you down

2009-05-27T22:35:00.002+08:00

2 more days to last day of school
4 more days to vanessa's farewell
5 more days to the start of my EXTREMELY crazy schedule.

I'm enjoying school now.
I put my head down for 5-10 seconds, teacher asks me to get up or go wash my face. Thessa puts her head down for one whole period, she NEVER gets caught.
She sleeps during SS, and can get 25/25 FOR HER PAPER.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extended Limits

2009-05-26T22:55:00.002+08:00

Oh guess what, there's no more BSF for the whole month of June.
!!!!! HEEEEEEE !!!!!
I can watch my KBS MUSIC BANK FOR THE WHOLE MONTH OF JUNE! :D
Usually I have to leave early, so I'll miss out alot of performances, since they moved it from monday to tuesday. Woooo, and today, the teacher kept picking on me to answer alot of questions. For some reason, I don't know why. I tried to 'stone' and follow evangeline's advice, but unfortunately no. The teacher continues to ask me almost every single question.

YAY!
NAOMI! READ THIS!
AMARA KNOWS RACHEL!
WOOOOOOOO HAHAHA!

I got A1 for my AD MATH.
OHMY! HAPPY TO THE MAX!
The chinese classes will be banded again, I'll most probably stay put in 3rd class. I'm sort of happy in the third class, because it's kinda slack. I see sarah dying everytime she does compositions. And I don't want to go to the fourth class either. It's good and bad staying in the third class, good because most people are my standard, and bad because ... (I bet alot of people know why)

Grudges and Damages

2009-05-24T16:10:00.008+08:00

Bear no grudges, you're created to love.

Hating only damages yourself, not the other.

I'm so sad ):

Vanessa's leaving in 7 days time to Manchester, for 2 months. I'm going to miss her alot, really. Last night I had a really fun time at the sleepover with the PACers.

I was totally shagged out when I went to nicole's house, had NDP the whole day till 6. We talked till 1.30 (i think), they slept at 2. I slept really fast. I was TOO tired. Woke up at 7, which caused my constant dozing off. Sweets did not help me stay awake, I couldn't pay attention during kaleo at all.

It was THIS squeezy! The four of us were sharing one blanket. HAH!

Actually, I kinda regret joining NDP. I'm missing out alot of GB parades. All my saturdays are taken up till NDP is over, and I realized most fleas are on Saturdays. I just missed one yesterday. I can't skip NDP anymore, if not I'll get kicked out or put as reserved. I skipped twice, because of enrolment and exams. It's probably alot to the officers, they expect full attendance. Me and Huiting met this 2 crazy super junior + kimbum fans gb girls on our way back to GBC. Haha, the BOF craze.

I think Kim Bum went for plastic surgery, so did Lee Min Ho. Shucks, I want my boyfriend to be Lee Min Ho's height.

AJ's born in 1990. He's like the younger version of Rain. Can sing, dance and super cute. But, I think he went for plastic surgery too. Kabish, all plastics.

See the guy on the right? He's Kyu Hyun from Super Junior. AND I KEEP FORGETTING HIS NAME. I'm not a big fan of Super Junior, I just luvluvluv watching KBS Music Bank, and they've been showing alot of SJ lately. HEH :D

THIS- is ace junior. 19 years old only ehhh!

OH AND I FOUND LEE MIN HO'S SONG. HEHEHEHHEHEHEHE!

Results

2009-05-22T23:46:00.005+08:00

D7s' for my sciences, B3s' for my math, B4s' for my languages. A D7 for my p.geog, and a weird A2 for my combined humanities. I never expected my SS to be the highest.
SERIOUSLY, never even thought of even getting a B for my SS.
Even Sharyn was shocked I got so high for SS. HEEEEE!

I'm not upset over the subjects that I failed, I did put in my best. That's all I can say. 16 failures for chem in my class. I found out that people passed geog, Li An got 37 (shucks -,-), and many border line passes, or failed by 1 or 2 marks. Lost 8 marks straight for one stupid question, many people failed because of that 8 mark question.
For bio, I was extremely careless in my answers. This whole question with many parts, I misread the diagram, answered in the opposite way. Instead of saying that the cell was turgid and blah, I said it was plasmolysed and blah. Drew the wrong diagram, from the different view.
But I passed my overall bio, got an ugly C5.

I edited this post many times.
HAHAHAHAAH!

Touch my hand

2009-05-21T17:12:00.000+08:00

I PASSED CHINESEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
I SCORED REALLY WELL FOR SS!!!!!!
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
I FAILED MY CHEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I EXPECTED IT LONG TIME AGO!!!!!!
3/4 OF THE P.GEOG CLASS FAILED P.GEOG PAPER!
I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT I DID TOO!!!
ALL BECAUSE OF THAT 8 MARK QUESTION!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Okay, that pretty much spells my happiness.

Geog paper was like aldjashduasgifadha. Extremeeeeely bad. Alot of people failed, I only know 2 people who passed. One passed on the dot, the other I'm not sure.
I don't know anyone who scored beyond 30. Everyone's going around saying they failed, failed, failed or just passed.
We had some financial planning session today, got really boring after a few hours. The weather sucks! I HATE IT! Every classroom should have the fan like the HUGE ones in the hall.
POWER!

Close your eyes and count to 10

Okay, I'm going to try to do this post in record timing of 6 minutes.

Went out with the girls today. Everyone came late except Joanne. She went together with me. Everyone came at 2.30. From now on, when we organize such outings. I'll push the timing earlier so everyone will come 'on time'. The arriving late thing happens EVERYTIME, without fail.

Okay, i exceeded 6 minutes.

with all the pictures and stuff

Sprouting Hope- picture update

2009-05-20T12:00:00.000+08:00

You see that guy in the picture, Naomi says that's her. He looks like he's tortured by the girl or something. HAHAHAH! Poor guy.

Sarah says 'oh my, my photography skills are really good, RIGHT RIGHT?' and there was was no sarcasm in her sentence, at all.

Meeting the girls laterrrrrr (:

I can't wait for June to come. It's packed to the brim, with my schedule revolving around GB camp, church camp, NDP training, SGT weekend, EXTRA LESSONS and LOTS OF GOING OUT.

YAY :D

Sprouting Hope

YAY NO MORE PAPER! :D

Slept very well on Sunday night, the message came in the morning. I wonder how everyone slept that night. Thank God I was already sleeping by then.

The papers were crazy. I didn't prepare much over the weekend, I was already in the post-exam mood. I locked myself in my room for 2-3 weeks mugging over my subjects. I never cared for graphs and chemistry equations.
I kept practicing on concentration, in the end, only one question on that came out. The rest were just things which I didn't really pay much attention to.
I don't mind failing my chem, always failed my sciences since lower sec anyway.
I never liked graphs either, all the plotting and sketching. I rather do algebra for the entire paper.

Went out to watch Star Trek with sarah, naomi, joanne and esther.
Good movie. I was never a fan of sci-fi. Seriously, I always thought Star Wars were for geeks. So I told naomi, that if this movie sucked. It would be all her fault.
Turned out, the movie was good. I like the storyline. It's very original in a way. The sound effects were very sci-fi-ee, joanne was contributing even more to the sound effects with her screaming and comments.
Yeah joanne, you should have joined the trio of noisy little boys at the other side.
Went around orchard, like seriously. Sarah, naomi and I. Spent 8 and a half hours there. Because I didn't want to go home after getting locked up in my room. So I just told them to stay till 6. Yeah, we stayed in orchard till almost 6.
Walked alot, like, from cine to taka, to wisma, to heeren, and back to wisma.

We had this little talk on what's it like to be a guy.
Naomi hates girls, because to her, they're complicated and very fussy. I don't think we're very complicated you know! Well, I'm a girl. I don't really see the complicate part of me. Haa, stupid! She'll make a paedophile mother. Me and Sarah will make very fussy girlfriends.

Oh, next thing. I'm going to start going around and 'surveying' guys in Singapore. To see whether they're gentlemen or not.
It started in the lift in cine. The 5 of us went in, and the rest were guys. Don't know who they are, just random people who aren't secondary school students. So, when we ALL alighted at the first floor. No guy pressed the 'open' lift door. NONE. And there were so many guys inside. Maybe they were so engrossed in their conversation that's why they didn't open the door. Ah, they're not local- i think?
Oh and instead, I had to be that gentleman to open the door for EVERYONE to go out.
SERIOUSLY?!!?!? HAHAHA!
Okay whatever, I feel retarded doing such a stupid survey. I'll probably forget about it by tomorrow.

My comp is lagging really bad. I have no idea why. I can't seem to post the pictures up.
OH WELL, tomorrow then.

2009-05-17T16:26:00.000+08:00

2009-05-09T23:47:00.000+08:00

I'm back to blogger again!
After using LJ for about a year, I think I'm still quite lost and alien in some of their functions. But YAY blogger still loves me. (:
It hasn't changed much since I left, so it's a good thing. This is my third blog, I'll probably not move anymore. The reason why I moved from vintageglamourr.bs to racheltherah.lj is because I found blogger boring, and I didn't like all the tagging/linking/profiling stuff. And LJ seems way more sophisticated than blogger.
In terms of the url. Blogspot? Livejournal? BS? LJ?
But after using lj for a year, it started giving me problems in pictures posting.

So here I am, back to the place where I started blogging when I was- P4. I remember my first blogskin was Avril Lavigne. Oh welllllll, back to SS.

CHECK THIS OUT! I found this on the NDP flickr group, their counting down to NDP. very enthu indeed.

FIRST NDP TRAINING!

People around me were the first few i made friends with, the white skirt nanhua girls, and the navy skirt junyuan sec girls.

huiting's behind me. and she's beside me for the ndp contingent also.
